If Eddie Was Around

Isn't he still? I don't see main eventers or people with much future jobbing to Hornswaggle week after week. Just saying.

He got pushed for a bit after Eddie died but it didn't last as long. He hasn't done much since his time as ECW champion or after Vickie Guerrero left.

I doubt Eddie Guerrero would have been exclusively kept on SmackDown!. It was becoming more and more obvious that while everyone was sort of losing steam, Eddie was gaining it. The man played a brilliant heel character just before his death, when everyone said that he was "too over" to do so.

It looked like Eddie was just about to become the World Heavyweight Champion, which at this time would have made him only the third guy next to Triple H and Shawn Michaels to have been both WWE Champion and World Heavyweight Champion. I truthfully believe that Eddie would have become, ultimately, the top guy in the entire company, based solely on how entertaining he was. Eddie is one of those guys that didn't make you embarrassed to watch wrestling.

That would have eventually warranted a move to RAW. I am trying to imagine possible feuds with Triple H and Shawn Michaels, respectively, and it is blowing my mind.

As for how Chavo fits into this -- he was doing a pretty amazing job as Kerwin White. I mean, it was a bit of a joke gimmick, but it was serviceable and Chavo was having really solid matches with guys like Shelton Benjamin. Who knows if Chavo would have eventually turned face and went back to being a Guerrero or not? With Eddie in the company, Chavo would have had friends in high places, and I do not doubt that he would have had at least a little success.

Truthfully, I think Chavo would have achieved about what he has, with perhaps a few mid-card title reigns thrown in there. He could have also teamed up or feuded with Eddie a few times, and might have been on a more consistent journey. I wouldn't say he would have definitely cracked the main event, but I think he would be seen as a major asset to the company.
